The Nuclear Waste Policy

The Nuclear Waste Policy helps determine where and how to dispose of radioactive waste.
It supports using deep geologic places for the storage or dumping of radioactive waste. The law also provides instructions on how to select appropriate geologic places. The Nuclear Waste Policy provides standards for the safety of the environment from offsite releases of radioactive material ("Summary of the Nuclear" 2008).
